Be a Part of Young's Hill - Be Recognized!

Construction of Young's Hill is well underway, but you can still be a permanent part of this monumental change for the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees.

We raised enough money to build our giant open-air habitat thanks to Karen and Don Young, Euan and Bethany Menzies and everyone who gave during our 2010 auction.

Now it's your chance to be a part of the chimps' freedom.

For a donation of just $50, you can have an engraved plaque mounted on one of the posts that make up the primary and secondary fences surrounding the habitat.

Our goal is to have all 220 posts "adopted" by our 3rd anniversary on June 13th. That's less than one month away! The plaque can have your name, the name of a loved one, or a favorite quote - so consider getting more than one. It's never too early to get your holiday shopping done - we can save your gift notice until December if you like! Use this special donation form to give.

The first 20 donors will also receive a limited edition matted photo of Foxie, so donate quick!

Jody's Spa Day(s)

Jody seems to have decided that the sandbox in the greenhouse is her own private spa. So, naturally, her Mother's Day birthday celebration had a spa theme. Terra Bella Flowers in Seattle donated a dozen gorgeous pink roses, supporters Dick and Robbi Brown brought gift bags for all of the chimps, Tamela sent in a generous donation for produce, and volunteers Katelyn and Stephanie went all out preparing food and decorating for the party. See photos and video on the Jody's Birthday Spa Day blog post. Jody hasn't stopped the relaxing, either - see these photos from last week.

New Merchandise:
Jody logo Hydro Flask® Bottles

Now you can take Jody with you to the spa and anywhere else you go. A supporter recommended Hydro Flask to us, and we're thrilled with these 24 oz stainless steel bottles. They are BPA free and double wall vacuum insulated. They will keep hot for a remarkable 12 hours and cold for 24 hours. Ditch the throwaway plastic bottles! This may be the only water/coffee/soup/smoothie bottle you'll ever need.

We have a very limited number in three stunning colors - Lychee Red, Everest Blue and Green Zen. Order yours now before we run out!

Our 2011 Out of the Box auction will be held on Friday, October 7th at Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle and online the same week. Dedicated volunteers have been busy brainstorming ideas for businesses to sponsor the auction and fun items for you to bid on.

Join the fun! If you have a donation or donation ideas for art, wine, getaways or "just for fun" items, and/or if you would like to captain a 10-person table at the auction, contact Diana today: diana@ChimpsNW.org or 509-470-4440.
